The Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame is a hall of fame that honors eminent baseball players from Cuban baseball. Established in 1939 to honor players,managers,and umpires in the pre-revolution Cuban League,by 1961 it had honored 68 players,managers,and umpires whose names are shown on a marble plaque at Havana's Estadio Latinoamericano. After the revolution,however,the Hall of Fame languished for more than 50 years,seldom mentioned or acknowledged and with no new inductees. Following a campaign led by Cuban filmmaker Ian Padrón,a meeting was held on November 7–8,2014 to reformulate the Hall of Fame and to propose a museum in which it would be housed. The reformulated Hall recognized the original 68 members,and a jury of 25 people selected 10 new inductees—five from the pre-revolution period and five representing for the first time the post-revolution Cuban National Series. The planned site for the new museum is in the JoséAntonio Echeverría Workers' Social Club.
